Treatment
Lutein + Zeaxanthin
Eye-protective carotenoids for vision and cognition
Overview
In plain language
Lutein and zeaxanthin are antioxidants that protect eye health, support vision clarity, and promote brain performance in seniors.
These carotenoids filter harmful blue light and neutralize oxidative damage in the retina. Found in leafy greens and eggs, they support visual acuity and may improve cognitive processing. Supplementation protects against macular degeneration and age-related vision decline.
